Delicate Highlights, Detailed Shadows, Dramatic Skies - On The First Print

Place tones right where you want them
With the meter's 0.01 stop resolution and 10 stop range.

Read the difference between sky highlights and foreground highlights with DELTA mode and the meter shows the required burn-in. Do the same with shadows to determine dodge exposures.

Make fine exposure adjustments
Measure the tone you have and the tone you want and read the required correction using DELTA mode.
